BELLES OF ST. MARY’S
Februaxy 28, 1964
Sophomores Entertain
Freshmen
On Thursday night, February
1.‘3, the Freshmen were given a
pleasing surprise by the Sopho
more class. At 9:30 p.m. each
Sophomore went to the Freshman
halls and got her little sister.
Then the large group assembled
on Second West Wing where re
freshments were served.
After everyone was settled the
Sophomores proceeded to display
some of their talents. Alice Purdie
was mistress of ceremonies of the
show. The Beatles sang two of
their hit songs. The Beatles con
sisted of Jane Roughton as Paul,
Francy Lewis as Ringo, Lela Cow-
ardin as George, and Ann Pond as
John. Following up the Beatles
were the Shirelles, who are com
posed of Anne Underwood as
Shirley, Amey Parsons as Bever
ly, Diane Ilarrelson as Mickey,
and Ann Dorsey Day as Doris.
The show ended with the Sopho
mores’ rendition of the Cold Cuts.
However, they called themselves
the Cold “Fish.” Each Cold Fish
made up verses about several
Freshmen.
When the entertainment was
over the two classes continued to
sit around and talk or eat until
about 11:00 Avhen the Freshmen
returned to their halls.
The Sophomores had worked all
Thursday afternoon preparing
decorations and foods for the
party. A similar party was given
last year by the Sophomores for
the Freshmen. Since the parties
liave proved successful, the Valen
tine Party will in the future prob
ably be an annual occurrence.
Gubernatorial Candidates
(Continued from Page 2)
Since he represents the conser
vative faction of the North Caro
lina Democratic party. Lake
stands for the conservation of
states rights, the freedom of busi
nessmen to select customers and
employees, and controlled govern
mental power. If elected, he plans
to promote diversified agriculture,
improved marketing facilities, and
a better educational system; and
although he is in favor of new in
dustry, he will not offer tax con
cessions. Dr. Lake thinks it nec
essary to use the powers of gov
ernor’s office to promote law and
order, would reduce taxes when
ever possible, and supports the
“Gag” law.
On the republican front, two
men, Donald Badgley, and Charles
A. Strong have announced their
candidacy for the nomination.
Consequently, the Republican
party will also hold a primary this
year, although it iisually holds
only a convention.
Both candidates are Guilford
County legislators, Badgley has
served in the state House of Rep
resentatives since 1962, and
Strong has served for the same
duration in the state Senate. As
far as can be seen, both seem to
be moderates. However, according
to Mr. John Thcdieck, a prom-
St. Mary’s Active At Mock U. N. Assembly
By Harriet Williams
Five girls from St. Mary’s par
ticipated from Feb. 12-15 in the
Sixth Annual Middle South Unit
ed Nations Model General Assem
bly, held at the Duke University
campus. The St. Mary’s delegation
mas made up of Alexa Draxler,
Nancy Raley, Lily Ross, Ginny
Willets, and Harriet Williams.
’ITiese girls represented Australia
in the assembly.
For six years students from var
ious colleges and universities in
the Middle South region of the
. U. S. have participated in the an
nual United Nations Model Gen
eral Assemblies under the organi
zation of the Collegiate Council
for the United Nations. Students
from these schools form groups of
four or five and are assigned ac
cording to their preferences a
country to represent at the assem
bly. The students spend several
months in preparation in order to
nnderstand how the nation which
they rex)resent would view any of
the issues which might be brought
up. At the meeting the delegates
are divided into four main com
mittees as follows: Political, So
cial, Administrative, and Eco
nomic.
One person officially represents
each delegation on each commit
tee, although an alternate may
also sit in. These delegates may
present resolution, debate or
amend tliose brought up by other
“countries,” or just vote on the
resolutions i^resented. The pur
pose is for views of each nation to
be aired so that all the students
present can develop a knowledge
of how other nations look at vari
ous issues. It is important that
each delegate keep in mind the
opinions of the country he is rep
resenting, and not be swayed by
how he feels personally.
From the resolutions passed by
the committees, four are chosen
to be placed on the piunciple
agenda at the “General Assem-
bl.v.” These resolutions are pre
sented, debated and amended
again, and finally voted upon.
Again, all delegations must stay
in the character of their countries.

Since Charles Jonas, Republican
strongman, and Robert Gavin,

be running, other prospective can
didates remain speculative.

This j'car’s assembly was partic
ularly exciting to the St. Mary’s
delegation since St. Mary’s pi’®'
sented the two resolutions whicli
were on the official agenda for the
Social Committee. These resolu
tions dealt with the U. N. right to
aioply sanctions to nations be
cause of their domestic racial
problems, and with the resettle
ment of refugees in areas of tb®
world best able to assume the bu)'-
den of caring for them. Although
these were both defeated in the
committee, a resolution pertaiiiiUc
to refugees, strikingly similar t®
the one St. Mary’s had presented
was passed as amended by Aus-
ti*alia and the United KingdoiU’
This resolution was chosen to be
put before the General Asseinbb'
and was passed there also. The ex
perience of ^vorking with othd
delegates on these resolution®
made this year’s session particu
larly worthwhile and stimulatiUo
for the St. Mary’s girls.
One valuable jiart of the Mob®^
General Assembly is the oi^portuu
it\- to hear renowned si)eakers
